Hot Toys Moon Knight

That looks really good, @ninjadriveby. What's the rock from?

Thanks! It's a diorama base from TBLeague Amazon Soldier. I liked how it fit on the giant Hot Toys flight base.

Is it hard to keep the vinyl of the suit from creasing? I own the figure and I really am worried about the material of the suit.

I've had no issues as of yet. I've had the arm bent a little over 90 degrees for about the last month. I just made it straight and there are no creases.

Thank you so much for the speedy response! I've been so worried about how to take care of that rubbery vinyl fabric! Do you have any tips?

I haven't had to apply anything to the suite. My figures are in my finished basement out of direct sunlight and I make sure the humidity is consistently the same.

Do you all also have tips on attaching his hands?

Such an insanely photogenic figure.

WARNING
Do yourself a favor and loosen the screw in the ankle joint (just a bit) so it doesn’t sound like a ratchet joint (because it’s not). The screws were tightened so much that when I tried to bend the foot in the proper way, the peg snapped off in the foot. And I’m very careful with these things.

If you you do end up breaking the peg, here’s one possible fix:
Old Sideshow foot pegs. Just sand down or dremmel the foot connector a wee bit. Works like a charm.

Which side of the foot connector?

So I actually just ended up breaking the joint on mine, and struggling to find a replacement. I don't own any old Sideshow figures and am thinking of buying a part of one to replace the joint, which did you use?

From there Prometheus line. Here’s an a EBay auction that shows the exact joints I used:

Has it worked pretty well so far? Does it feel looser or like it doesnt fit right? And did you do any modifications to the peg itself?

Do you mean sand it down to make the connector shorter or thinner? And has it continued to work well even a year later?
